Court Clears Path for Ending Somali TPS Amid Ongoing Litigation

A federal judge ruled that ending Somalia’s Temporary Protected Status can proceed, lifting a pause on the move while a lawsuit progresses. The court said the plaintiffs showed irreparable harm but did not prove a likelihood of success on the merits, allowing the government to end TPS for Somalis as litigation continues. With roughly 700 Somalis in the U.S. on TPS, this could affect work authorization and risk deportation, though advocates say some alternative paths remain and the broader TPS framework may still face challenges.

Supreme Court Considers Holocaust Survivors' Right to Sue Hungary

The U.S. Supreme Court appears skeptical about allowing Holocaust survivors to sue Hungary in American courts for property stolen during World War II. The case hinges on a narrow exception to sovereign immunity, which generally protects foreign nations from being sued in U.S. courts. Justices expressed concerns about the broader implications of such a decision, including potential foreign policy repercussions and the possibility of reciprocal lawsuits against the U.S. A decision in the case, Hungary v. Simon, is expected next year.

"Debate Over Judicial Discretion in 'Judge-Shopping' Policy"

The federal judiciary released a revised policy recommending random assignment of judges in civil cases with statewide or national implications, addressing concerns about "judge shopping." The policy is not a mandate and does not apply to criminal or bankruptcy cases. Conservative judges and lawmakers have criticized the change, accusing the Judicial Conference and Democrats of attempting to grab power from conservative jurists in isolated jurisdictions. Some judges have expressed concerns about the practicality of implementing a random-case-assignment policy in geographically large districts.
